Which is more fun to read: Dictionary or Encyclopedia?   

i think encyclopedia..............it has all the thing reagrding science and technology and history etc ..so its better option

I will love read the both. Like you said when you read Dictionary,, you learn new words.. but in encyclopedia you learn new terms of life and word too.. REad the both in same time..you discover a new word in the encyclopedia so read it in the Dictionary after ahah But if I have to choose one..it would be the Encyclopédia.. I think more complete,,in my view and love see the pictures in it!

Since I'm a science geek, I'd have to go with the encyclopedia. In fact when I was 10 years old, I did read one of the volumes from my encyclopedia set. That was several years ago of course, now I wouldn't have the time to read such a big book, even in a year! Too many kids, too much housework to do, too much writing to do for work...

I like reading both Dictionary and Encyclopedia. But I prefer encyclopedia the most. Because from dictionary, I will learn new words but I cant keep them in mind. I will get bored in few minutes. On the other hand encyclopedia, it will be more interesting.

well i have to admit that i like reading both but since i am really into history, i guess i like to read the encyclopedia more than reading the dictionary (since i am a wrtier too, i like new words) but my love for history outweighs my love of new words!

Encyclopedia.

no comment..........:)

Though the encyclopedia is much more interesting to read, I rarely open them anymore. They are just hiding in my parents bookshelves right now and merely just a collection books. Though dictionary only contains words after words, I still used them until now. I do have a pocket sized dictionary at work and a bigger one in our house.

For me it is encyclopedia, because it has pictures, it states history there. Like the word biology, it will say study of living things, but in encyclopedia, it will explain everything about biology, its branches, the scopes of learning. Some pictures also are there, compare to dictionary, specifically the meaning is only there. What I love in encyclopedia, it is a concise meaning of a certain noun. It tells everything about that word or noun. While dictionary like thesaurus, tells the meaning of words only.

In my native tongue I prefer to read the encyclopedia. I like gathering knowledge about all different types of things. The articles in encyclopedias are just the right length to gain some knowledge without getting bored about a subject. At the same time I do like to read dictionaries in other languages. I like learning words in other languages and try to look up words so that I can put sentences together and understand a simple conversation.

Hi
I prefer the encyclopedia- as besides the meaning it also gives you a lot more information - helps improving the knowledge and intelligence
